Movies that are 'Verified Hot' by filmgoers will join those that are 'Certified Fresh' from critics, in a move meant to give more weight to consumer opinions, as the site also tweaks its review eligibility requirements.

    Now we have four possible combinations:

    • Fresh and Hot (good critic score + good audience score)
    • Rotten and Hot (bad critic score + good audience score)
    • Fresh and Stale (good critic score + bad audience score)
    • Rotten and Stale (bad critic score + bad audience score)

    Fresh 'n hot, come and get it!

      This feels wrong - a tomato can’t be both ‘fresh’ and ‘stale’ - they’re the opposite of one another! If ‘good audience score’ is ‘hot’, then ‘bad audience score’ should be ‘cold’ surely.

        Good point there.

        I think it’s a reference to the symbols on the website - fresh tomatoes + hot popcorn, and rotten tomatoes + stale popcorn.

    Meh. Audience scores feel like a random number generator that’s insanely skewed depending on how crazy the fanbase is. Reminder that Venom 2 has an 84% audience score. That movie was total garbage.
